Anyone know why Endeavour pulled out? Saw her during the St Barths Bucket and she seemed to be the best of the Js there.

No, but they just phone up the skipper and say "We're going sailing".

Pics from yesterday
I took this one to give an indication of scale the ketch with the red sails was one of the bigger yachts out there and would have looked impressive on any other day.

The race commentator on one of the days mentioned they can do 12-14 knots. They were certainly doing that today on the final day with a howling westerly blowing. We hope they come back in the future as it was a very spectacular event, especially when you listen in to the running commentary.

I'm not an old boat fan but I have to admit they were a fabulous sight even if a bit slow by modern standards.

I have The J Class yacht Endeavour along side our Pontoon down here in Portugal. The owner decided not to race in the UK. It is amazing, the owner has a J Class Yacht as well as a 71metre Motor yacht for cruising. Each weekend they leave for a "jolly" and come back on Monday. Treating the J Class as a day boat.
